So what’s the Point

there is always a Point

LONG shots like former College SuperStar HEISMAN winner Troy Smith are a BLESSING because just maybe Smith can work the other end of the Odds chart. That against the Odds the Baltimore Ravens might find his pre-seaaon performance so impressive Troy Smith gets to be the unexpected African American Starting Quarterback this season. It is worth praying for if you pray on Sports which many of us do. Here is what others are saying ….

The Canadian Press why not ….

OWINGS MILLS, Md. â€” “Troy Smith will be the Ravens starting quarterback for Saturday’s pre-season game against the St. Louis Rams, coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday.”

” The former Heisman Trophy winner may play as much as three quarters as the Ravens want to evaluate him as they try to determine who will be the QB in the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 7.”

” Former starter Kyle Boller is Smith’s chief competition, yet he might not even play against the Rams. Boller has committed a team-high three turnovers in two pre-season games.”

The Baltimore Sun better yet ….

“[Smith] will play as much as we need to have him play,” Harbaugh said. “The thinking is Kyle has had 42 starts and we have a good idea of what he is and what he’s been. We need to find out more about Troy Smith. He needs reps with the [starters]. He needs them against a defense in a third preseason game where they’re game-planning him a little bit and we’ll see how he does.”

Smith said he was not surprised when he was named the starter for the third preseason game, which is typically the one where the starters play the most.

“I say that because I am confident in what I can do and what I will do,” Smith said.
